Question in Roman history.

[68 Powers]

Hey again.
I have a question in Real life did the romans ever fight against the phalanxes?
And if they did how did they beat them?

[24Gamer]

Yes they did, for exampale against the macedons in the famous battle of Kynoskephalai which resulted in a clear victory for the romans.

The Romans had clear advantages towards the macedonians because of their lose formation and the use of pila...

Oh. darn..
Yeah i was just reading up on it and it said that some centurion filled the gaps between each phalanx which aloud then to use the short swords to full effect and eventully crushing the phalanx because turning to meet a threat was impossible with messing up the cohesivness of the phalanx.

Romans are just to good

First battle of Lamia - Romans defeated by Philip V of Macedon
Second battle of Lamia - Romans defeated by Philip V once more


The Battle of the Aous was fought in 198 BC between Rome and Macedon, at or near modern Tepelenë in Albania. The Roman force was led by Titus Quinctius Flamininus and the Macedonians were led by Philip V. Flamininus won the battle, and the two commanders would meet again at Cynoscephalae the next year
